Find Your Way to Say “I Do”

Beachfront Weddings

No two weddings should feel the same. Tell us how you imagine yours and we will help build the celebration around it.

Barefoot vows. Turquoise water. Palm trees. And nothing between you and the Caribbean Sea.

Exchange vows directly on Lindbergh Bay, then continue your celebration with cocktails, dinner or a reception overlooking the water.

Perfect for intimate ceremonies, destination weddings and full wedding celebrations.

Sunset Weddings

There are few better backdrops than a St. Thomas sunset.

Plan your ceremony for golden hour as the sun settles over Lindbergh Bay, followed by champagne, cocktails and a waterfront reception as evening begins.

Ideal for couples looking for an effortlessly romantic Caribbean setting.

Getting Ready at Emerald

Your Wedding Team, Your Way

Need somewhere for hair, makeup, photographs pand that first champagne toast?

Ask about reserving guest rooms for bridal preparation or day-use surrounding your ceremony.

For cruise wedding parties in particular, this provides a comfortable private space to get dressed, prepare and store belongings before heading down to the beach.

Already have a wedding planner? Bring them.

Need help finding one? We can connect you with trusted professionals throughout the Virgin Islands.

Emerald Beach Resort works with a network of local wedding professionals and can assist in connecting couples with:

  • Wedding coordinators
  • Officiants
  • Florists
  • Photographers & videographers
  • DJs and live musicians
  • Décor and rentals
  • Wedding cakes
  • Beauty professionals
  • Transportation providers
  • Island excursions and activities

You choose how much—or how little—help you need.

One Wedding. An Entire Island Weekend

Your guests came all the way to St. Thomas. Give them more than one evening. Build a wedding itinerary around the island:

DAY ONE
Welcome drinks overlooking Lindbergh Bay

DAY TWO
Beach day + rehearsal dinner

WEDDING DAY
Beach ceremony • sunset cocktails • reception

DAY FOUR
Farewell brunch • pool • one last swim

Then let the honeymoon begin.

Why St. Thomas?

Caribbean Destination. U.S. Convenience.

For U.S. citizens, no passport is required to travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Easy to Reach

St. Thomas is served by nonstop flights from major U.S. gateways, making it considerably easier for wedding guests than many international Caribbean destinations.

Beachfront From Arrival to “I Do”

Emerald Beach Resort is only minutes from Cyril E. King Airport, allowing guests to land in St. Thomas and begin their wedding weekend almost immediately.

Everything in One Place

Rooms. Beach. Pool. Dining. Cocktails. Ceremony. Reception.

Less moving around. More celebrating.
